LEO Application

This is a discussion on LEO Application within the Law Enforcement, Military & Homeland Security Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I was wondering since there are a couple of LEOs on the board if I could get some help with a question.
I am applying ...

Just be completley truthful about it. None of the tickets are a big deal, but dont try to hide them either. When and if they do a background check, it'll all come out...although I doubt that the campus tickets do.

We have a university here, and those university citations never show up because they arent entered on the NCIC like citations issued by police are.

Good advice given out here. Get a copy of your driving record at your DMV if you need to refresh your memory for the application. Be honest on all the questions on the application. I can assure you if the officer doing the background investigation is doing his job he will already know most of the answers to the questions. Being honest from the begining makes it easier to take the polygraph or voice stress test which is usually the last hurdle. Good luck in your new career.

I applied in Arizona in August and I actually forgot something (a police interaction) on my app. My background detective called me and asked what it was, and I told him to the best of my recollection, then he asked why I didn't list it, and I just flat out told the truth, I forgot. I had listed every other interaction, including just stopping to talk with LEOs, but I forgot that one.

I'm going out in December for my job offer (conditional pending physical/psychological exams).

Be honest, and try not to forget anything, but if you do and you remember it later, or they call and ask, try to remember everything about it and tell them.

Question for LEO out there. How does concealed carry affect drivers of commercial vehicles? Is cc prohibited to those drivers by the federal gov. or state? Thanks!

That is entirely dependent on the state and on the company that the driver is employed with. Lots of local truckers have permits. Now that many states are reciprocal, its not the big hassle that it used to be. If you are a driver for the state or federal government, they have their own regulations for that and I'm sure that they are pretty stringent.
